' . Kildare Road 20 chains, late ly occupied by George | the baleony of ap hotel as fresh as though Warren. On the premises isa pew DWELLING | he had only been riding for half an hour ip the park, to make a pleasont speech about crops and harvests, aud the haud-orn.e wo men whem he beheld among the assemblage of Devonshire agriculturists and cthers that had come in expectation of seeing and hearing bim. Other speeches, familiar. sensible, and significant, were thrown off with equal ease in the course of bis two or three days’ stay in that beautiful locality j}and then Lord Palmerston is seen hurrying back to the metropolis as fast as the express train can carry him, Now his lordship turns up at Hereford, inaugurating a memorial statue of the late Sir George Cornwall Lewis, and speaking with some eloquence on the life and charac- ter of his lamented colleague. Lord Pal- merston is not a brilliant speaker, but he possesses the happy art of comprehending what will be agreeable to his hearers, and he says it with both earnestness and ea-e, leaving an impression that he is both a sen- sible and judicious man. His panegyric on the late Sir George Lewis was coloured by a friendly feeling, butit was a graceful tri- bute to the memory of a worthy and well- intentioned colleague, who, though he was bot the great statesman represented by the Premier, nevertheless wi-hed and endea- voured to arrive at the height of one. The kindly nature of the spirit pervading Lord | Patmerston’s address wiil be duly appre- ciated, and those who have been content to limit their observation to public transac- tions, will be pleased to add to their reeol- lection this manifestation of personal ami- ability towards the memory of a departed friend, Sir George Cornwa|! Lewis was an emi- nent scholar and a cose reader of books Lord Palmerston says he was active in pub- lic duties, but his activity had no important resulis; and although he may have desired to occupy worthily a high position in the political world, we do pot think his ambi. tion in that way would ever have received its gratification. The Premier appeared to imply that a somewhat Nelsonic spirit ani- mated Sir George Lewis at the outset of his public career, but the character of bis wind and of his experienee would have led us to a different conclusion, Nelson, in a civil department, would have been as bold, quick, daring, and clever withal, as he was upon the quarter-deck; whereas Sir George Lewis was thoughtful, speculative, and im- practical. In a secondary position, his liking for business, his good intentions, and | strict integrity would bave always rendered his services valuable to an Administration. As a second-rate man, Sir George Lewis will be regarded with admira'ion, and Lord Palmerston only erred in claiming honours for him as a first. This is a small matter. The chief object of our notice is the green and vigorous age of the noble Premier. Who would think a man, just eighty years old, capable of so much bard and intelligent work as this old man is now performing, just after a session which, if it has produced no fruits worth speaking of, bas been very embarrassing to the Administration? Young mea, in Lord Palmerstou’s place, would have been glad to get away to the quietude of domestie life, after such a succession of stormy encounters aud tribulations. The Premier’s pleasure is work. He has no idea of giving up time to such trifling pastime as bird-shooting or lolling upon sofas, or lying upon bis back upon the sea sands or shingle. The people who listened to his speech at Hereford, could not stand the heat of the sun, but put on water, kindly proffered to him, was declined. | This, the man for all political weathers, was not to be diseomfitted by mere excess of phy- sical heat. Aud when the proceedings were over, he did not rush away exhausted, to hide himself in some shady nook of the railway station, awaiting the arrival of the train; but, fresh as ever, his lordship mingled with the people, to whom he was, of course, an object of immense intcrest, smiling with his well-known blandness upon the ladies who pressed forward to shake hands with him, and agreeably conversing with the farmers about their harvests, and their prospects the coming winter; not at all displeased, although some of them grasp- ed his hand, io their enthusiasm, ‘as if’ with a vice.” When ove of those pleasant friends, encouraged by the Premier's ami- able chattiness, boldly put a question about the Doncaster St. Leger, the Premier “only laughed in his usual good-humoured style.” Such a man as this must mike friends wherever he goes, and who can say that these pleasant ocvasions have no reference whatever to an approaching general election? Be that as it may, here is a statesman | eighty years old, travelling about the coun- try, after an exciting Session, attending fes- tivals, and making lengthy speeches upon all sorts of subjects; and speaking sensibly and well, The public generally, much as_poli- tical opinions may differ, must regard Lord Palmerston with genuine admiration, and wish long life to him. — London News of the World, Sept. 18. $$$ TUK BELFAST RIOTERS, We have now the means of arriving at a kpowledge of the actual loss >f lite and limb, and seeing at least, a ;Tospeet of some of the rioters being dealt with according to law. Nine persous were killed, and one hundred and seventy-six wounded during the fortnight when law and order was sus- peaded in Belfast. For the greater part of that very ehort period, at least, four thousand soldiers and armed pulice held possession of the doomed city, in which they seemed to aet as buffers between the con- tending purtics. We are told that out o wany thousands of rioters, who could have been arrested if scores and dozens at a time, only filty are iv eustody upon the mi- uor charge of having arms in their possession. lt is lueky that they will also be indicted lor the riot, but it is equally uojust to the community that the great vody of rioters should be allowed to escape, and to the fifty who are called upon to suffer vicariously for the sins of the whole. If the Jaw is not able to assert its power over more than fifty out of a population containing thousands of riOters, then indeed we fear we must trace the origin of Irish riots to the impotence of the lawirself. lf ever there was an ocea- sion when a great lesson might have been taught to equally bigoted Protestants and Catholies, that occasion was furnished by the Belfast Riots. lt did so happen that people pretending to the profession of both iaiths engaged in the destruction of life and ‘he plunder of property, and we have the opportunity of now teaching both classes (hat there is a power in the country more to be respected than the impulsive tendan- | cies of musgular Christains of the Belfast order. It ts certainly a lame conclusion to find that a city supposed to be inhabited by civil zed men, given up to rapine and mur- der for fourteen days, yet defended by 4,000 armed men, is now to pay bo higher penalty to justice than to submit to the punishment of some fifty rioters. If this is so, rioting will becowe a popular amusement in Ire- jand.—Jé. ie leitiiedaneiaiaidl AUSTRIA, THE ARRESTS IN AUSTRIAN ITALY, Austria pursues its career of persecutions | in the parts of the peninsula which it still holds. Tle arrests are grounded on the fact that the parties inculpated belong to the party of action, and bid formed projects cf immediate insurrection. A patriot o! Trent, M, Pedergolli, writes to the Pungolo of Milan, affirming that the Austrian police has had recourse to vain pretexts. ‘ Not even one of the persons arrested,” says he, * belongs to the party of action, either to the section which has for iis organ the Di- retto, or to that which has for i:s chief Maz- zini, and for its organ the Unita Italiana, As for the * projects of insurreciicn,’ 1 can dec'are in the most positive manner, and from certain knowledge, that no one has disapproved more than the arrested of every attempt at insurrection. I do not know whether these declarations, which I make on my word of honor, will serve so many inno- cents and so many fathers of families. At} all events I shall bave obeyed the vuice of my conscience.” « We begin to get some light,” says the Independance Belge, * upon the conspiracy which the Austrian police has discovered in the Italian Tyrol and Venetia, It appears hat the party of action ia Italy had in| reality planned, some months ago, a genera! risiog in arms. It bad its arms and its soldiers,all ready, and its ramifications and projects extended beyond the frontiers of italy. The first blows were to be struck in the Austrian possessions. This plan was postponed or abandoned during the stay of | Garibaldi at Ischia; but the plans and de- pots of arms existed, and the Ausirian po- lice, put on their track, has begun to arrest the persons most compromised, After ar- rests upon arrests, it bas proceeded to make a complete razza, not only among the ad- herents of the party of action, but even in ranks of the moderate party, which naturai- ly desires the reunion of the country to Italy, but without looking to conspiracies for the realisation of hopes. A crowd of young men of the best families, who can only be accused of holding patriotic opinions, have been taken beyond the Alps to the fortress of Innspruck, where there awaits them a monstrous trial, the result of which, what- ever it may be, will add nothing to the mora! foree or the security of the Austrian government.” GREECE.

REFORMS IN THE ARMY—BETROTHAL OF THE KING OF GREECE — BLONDIN’S SUCCKss. The reforms about to be mads in the mi- litary adminstration of the Russian Km- pire cannot fail to have a most favorable effect in a financial point of view. The modifications as regards recruiting, the re- organization of the army, and the new re- gulations for the instruction of reeruity will dispense with the necessity of keeping up, in ordinary times so enormousan army, the cost of which forms the principal item in the budget. The experience of the past year has shown that, by the new system, an army sufficiently strong to meet ail contin. gencies and all complications which may arise, cau be mobilised ina very short time. A reduction of 220 000 men is spoken of, The men to whom leave will be first grant- ed are those who have been a sufficient time in the ranks to complete their military instruction, Letters received from St. Petersburg an- nouned the betrothal of King George o!

Tae Weisse Alder (White Bagle), a Zu- rich newspaper, has the following little tale: — To the commissioner of the National Government for Poland were sent. from Leipzig to Paris, 5 thalers (15s) whieh were sacrificed by Julia Weinbrack, the deaugh:er of an bowouratle citizen in the mentioned town. Though this sum may be in itselt small, it represents, nevertheless, a great sacrifice, being the receipt fora beatiful fair head of hair, laid on the altar of the Polish nation, the sacrifice originating from com- passion for this unhappy nation,” The Posen Journal gives the subjoined ; —‘*The sentences passed on the Polish lead- ers who have been so long in confinement here have just been published. The Coun- tess Ostrowska has been condemned to five years’ imprisonment with irous; the Countess Wodzioka and Madame Z-browska to ten months of the same punishment; Mmes. Wilkoszewska and Lining to six months; and Mmes. Alexandrowicz and Dymidowicz to four. All these have appealed. THE INSURRECTION IN TUNIS. Upon the complaint of General Beaura! the Bey has expelled the Zouaves who at- tacked the Spanish consalate and commenced sacking it. The Spanish consul has referred the ques'ion of reparation to Madrid, and awaits instructions, At the request of a Tunisian General, an Woglish war vessel has eaptured a Maltese ship carrying munitions and cauoon for the insurgents. The Bey has sent another colu:nn into the interior. but the insurrection still maintains itse'f. he chiefs who have arrived at Tuuis to re- ceive their investure declare that peace is impossible unless the Kasnadar be diswissed, the taxes reduced, and the tribana!s reform- ed. “be towns of Monastir and Sfax have violently repelled the agents of the Boy, its igs i GOSSIP FROM BADEN-BADEN. A letter from Baden-Baden says :-—** All the hotels, villas, and private lodging-houses ‘of this fashionable * watering place’ are literally crammed. A hst of the noble and distinguished visitors now bere would fill a column. I will therefore name ouly a few members of the sovereign houses. First, then, there is the King of Prussia, whose fine open countenance, * bonhommie’ sism- plicity of dress, and usaffeeted urvanity to- wards whomsoever he accosts, have some- what modified the unfavourable opinion | had formed of his majesty on political grounds, Count de Bismaik, bis evil genius, is ever at the King’s e:bow, on the watch, fearful Jest truth should reach the royal ear and he should be superseded. Queen of Piussia is also here. Her Majesty appears to be in very delicate bealth. Prince Cnarles of Prussia, brother to the King, the hero of Duopel, has taken up bis quarters at the Hotel de Ja Cour de Bade, the best by far at this place, and may be seen daily on the promenade, before tne conversation saloon, never withcut a huge cigar in his mouth. Then, we have the Archduke Louis of Austria, a promising stripling— ready, like his brother Max wiiian, to accept any vacant throne--the Graud Duke of Nassiu, the Prince and Prucess Wiliam Frederick of Hesse, the Dachess Dowager of Hamilton, the Duke of Hamilton and Chatelberault, the Duke de Moruy, his Ex- cellency Senor Hidalgo, the Ewperor Max- milian’s, Ambassador in Paris, the Duke and Duchess de St. Arping, the lovely Prin- The | iseason. The oldest, the heroine of the Trent, Erlanger, the Paris banker, who launched the Con- |federate Cotton Loan. Our racing sport here bas been spoiled by wretchedly bad weather, it rained heavily and continuously, Still ladies of all ranks ventured in crowds ,to the race course at Oos, but, huddled in the confined tribanes, they had no Oppor- tunity for promenading on the green sward and displaying to advantage the newest Parisian fashions, their neat French ankies, their fashionable high-heeled boots, reaching up to the calf, under 20 square yards of em- _broidered petticoat and crinoline. The rac- ing was very good. The absurd ukase, which tabooed and excluded the demi monde from the saloons and gaming-tables of this ‘moral dunghill’ (where vice, profligacy, and gambling ought to reign supreme in the paradise they have created) has at length been rescinded. The authorities, aod the farmers of the tables discovered, to their cost, that they had committed an egregious blunder in attempting to test the virtue of their customers, or to discriminate between demireps aud whole-reps. In fact, these ‘foolish virgins’ are indispensable to the prosperity of this gorgeous and costly Pan- demonium. In short, ces petites dames, with the help of the Jockey Club, have tri- umphed, and Jast night Midlle C—— was to be seen once more in Benaset’s gilded saloons, flaunting it in purple and fine linen, leaning on the arm of the handsome young Duke of Massena, and surrounded by a score of admirers. 1 confess 1 was not a little amused by the envious remarks made by some of the femmes du monde who set up 48 dragons de vertu at the richness and elegance of C ’s toilette, the nonchal- ance with which sho tossed handful after handful of bank-notes on the rouge et-noir, and the seeming ind fference with which she won or lost the muximum stake.” is engaged to be married to M. AN AUSTRIAN LOVE STORY. A remarkable matrimonial case has been tried in Vienna, In the house of Herr Uuhne, a teacher of languages, Dr. Kant, & young lawyer, made the acqaintance of a lady, burdened with some property and thirty years. The lady, being unmarried, evinced particular interest in the young, shy, and rather abashed man of the law. Sbe talked & great deal with him in com- pany, preferred him in the dance, and ended with inviting him to her house, Dr. Kant, who, as the unhappy lover of another girl, was not particularly inclived to pay visits, and at first did not comply with the courtevus request of the fair, but, seeing ber again at a friend’s, and her invitation being repeated, at length allowed himself to become an Aabitue of her and ber mother's hospitable house, It appears that the lady waited for several months for him to “pop the ques tion ;” until, getting weary of this melan- choly mein and indescribable reserve, she resolved to open a way for her retiring Adonis to propose, or retreat forever. One evening when the doc‘or, according to his wont, was sitting opposite her tabouret, conversation — accidentally, of course — turned on marriage, and the bappizess of harmonising souls, Dr, Kant pictured the fetters of Hymen in rosy colours; the face of the lady brightened, and with a palpitat- ing heart she put the guestion, “ With your favourable idea of matrimony, may I ask if you ever thought of marrying yourself #” Dr. Kant sighed, and, his eyes resting on the ground, hesitatingly muttered in reply, “TL have already thought of marrying, and made my choice, but ” « But,” the lady hastily interposed. * But,” he econ- tinued, * the lady is rich, very rich, and [ am poor. Iam afraid [ can hard'y aspire to her band, and rather than allow myself to be taxed with sordid designs L will bury wy passion in my breast, aud leave it un- avowed forever.’” A short pause ensued, Both parties were embarrassed, and the doctor rose to take his hat and leave the lady at an unusually early hour, Miss Martini bade good evening, in a friendly and cordial way, without, however, adding another word on the subject of their conver- sation, At an early hour of the following day she, however, betook herself to a so- licitor, and, in legal form, declared ber wish to present and hand over as his sole propeiy the sum of 150,000 gulden (£15,000) to Dr. Kant, When the document had been signed, countersigacd, and duly completed, she sat down in the office, and enelosing it in an elegant envelope, added a note to the ollowing effect: — Dear Sir,—I have much pleasure in enclosing a paper, which { hope wil! remove the obstacle in the way of your marriage —Believe me, &e., Alice Maritini.”—Dr, Kant, for he and ny other was the addressed, was the happiest man in the world on receiving this generous epistle, But, alas! that he should have put a dif. ferent construction on it to that expected. Repairing at once to the parente of Fraulein Fischel, the Jady of his love, he proposed for, and received the hand of a girl who had long been flattered by his delicate though unavowed attentions. His reply to Fraulein Martini, besides conveying his sincerest | thanks, contained two cartes de visite, link- ed together by the significant rose-coloured |ribbon. Miss Martini forthwith sued the happy bridegroom for restitution; bat as ‘no promise of marriage had been made, the case was by two successive courts decided against her. —_—_—_— A Saratoga letter writer records the fol- lowing novel mode of paying hotel bille :— |**Among the anomalies of a depreciated pa- | per currency the following is noteworthy ; There are at present at the Springs quite » , number of Cubans — never before so many. | They all come laden with gold, on which at ‘home they have paid no premium. On the liquidation of their board bills they ere al- | luwed the premium of course. The practical result is, that when a Caban has been here a month, and feasted well, he lays down one _bundred dollars in gold, and receives in re- turn a receipted bill, with ope hundred and ‘fifty-six dollars in change? The Cubans, hence, are living gratis, aod making money | by at bi sides ! i eee _ A-cocrespondent of the Richnoud Enguirer ” in a description of the present condition ot Charles- tou says: “ In one of the widest and handsomest thoroughfares, a space just wide h for the cart wheels is all that can be seen of paving stones; all elee is covered by tall grass and weeds reminding you of a pathway through an old field _in the country.” ADRS OE
